When you first started photography, was it a conscious decision that you want to be an artist with a camera? When I first started photography i was in grade 8 and it was a great way to skip a class, I had no further plans at the time. I think around 2005 I started to paint my photographs and that opened up a whole new world for me I think I am related to Van Gogh? :) What do you like to capture with your camera? Which is your favorite gear/gadget for photography?

He has five children and lives with his wife, Susan, and their many dogs, in Northeast Tennessee. The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. is his first novel, and he just finished its sequel, Dawn of Chrysalis.

Who would you choose to portray the main character? Interesting question. I would make the first book into a movie. It sets the course and tone for the other books in the series. The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. Series has so many characters; it would be difficult to choose just one. All you have to do is ask my Audio Book Producer about all the voice characterizations he had to create. I would go with McPherson and Dr. Heinbaum. I would choose Ja...

Formerly a fashion and commercial photographer in Western Australia, she moved to New York to pursue fashion photography. Debbie ventured back into photography a couple of years ago after 10+ years in the corporate world.

At the moment they are completely internet-based, but the main group is based in Chicago, U.S. The regulations -- both U.S. and international -- regulate a diverse set of aviation industry aspects and, among this legislation, is a broad field of customer protection laws. We have conducted an interview with Valeriy. Which is/are the most commonly violated basic passengers' flight rights? The most frequently violated air passenger right is the right for reimbursement and compensation. There is a great Latin phrase: “ ignorantia legis neminem excusat, ” which basically means that ignorance of the law excuses no one. For air passengers, this phrase means that even when one doesn’t know or use his or her rights, it doesn’t mean that one doesn’t have or cannot use those rights. As a matter...

How different are these two books that you have written: "America Under Mind Control and Code Blue: An Oath to the Badge and Gun"?

Some of the subjects I tackle are the education system, our money spending habits, credit cards, student loans and how this country is operated. There are no characters in this book, it's just a broad perspecti...
